I Had A Bomb-Ass-Effing Great Time At Envision Fest

By Lupe at March 22, 2012 | 8:38 am | 3 Comments

I know attention spans aren’t what they used to be, so I’m gonna get right down to it. I went to the 4-day Envision Festival down in Costa Rica, and had a BOMB-ASS-EFFING GREAT time… the lineup was ridiculous -- Beats Antique, Gladkill, Opiuo, Love & Light, Govinda, Nicoluminious and a whole bunch of other amazingly talented musicians. Those lucky enough more...

New Discoveries At Earthdance 2011 – Accounts & Video

By Drift Dodgers at October 17, 2011 | 1:40 am | 3 Comments

After nine festivals this summer and living in the van for months, traveling both coasts, going into debt to make it to the burn, then barely escaping LA, it didn't make practical sense for me to go to Earthdance.. but it was also more necessary for me than any festival has ever been. It became a catalyst for getting to Norcal immediately; It was something to look more...

Catskill Chill… more like Catskill Rage! With another northeast hurricane threatening to steal our weekend sunshine, us festi-goers kept it moving full force in our own renegade cyclone. Hosted at Camp Minglewood in Hancock, New York, this summer sleepaway camp transformed into a far-out station of musical enchantment for the long weekend. Since 2006, Harvest more...

Emissions: A Celebration of West Coast Bass Culture

By D~R Dyaphonoyze at September 3, 2011 | 5:42 pm | 0 Comment

When preparing for an outing into the great outdoors, one should know that the amount of fun they'll have is in direct correlation to the level of comfort one maintains while raging in the woods. This boils down to overall preparedness and the ability to maintain a shaded, dry and well fed home camp. You also need whats needed to keep one going for the duration, with a more...

The Big Up 2011 – Best Fest In The Northeast

By Drift Dodgers at August 24, 2011 | 1:35 am | 2 Comments

It seems like a simple enough formula: Find a beautiful natural setting, bring some speakers and artists, and have a great party.. Anyone who knows anything about festivals knows there's nothing simple about making this happen however. There are so many variables and societal restrictions, its a rare and special moment when it all comes together just right, as we more...

All Good 2011 Review, Photos & Videos

Year after year it seems like our festival scene is growing exponentially. Huge pop acts, big time corporate sponsorship, RFID wristbands, you name it, large-scale festival producers are finding more ways to capitalize on bringing people together for live music and art. It became evident to me this year that All Good Festival, celebrating its 15th anniversary, has found more...

Camp Bisco X Review (Part 1)

By grandose at August 2, 2011 | 2:06 pm | 2 Comments

Driving or riding to Camp Bisco in the past years has always been a journey, so I planned ahead of time properly to make it a quick and efficient ride to The Indian Lookout Country Club. Packing the night before and rendezvousing at locations either close to or on the route to Camp Bisco X was how we established our caravan. A car enthusiast my whole life, more...

STS9′s Re:Generation Festival Re:View

Being a long time String Cheese Incident fan, I've been hearing the words "Horning's Hideout" for years from passionate fans with a sincere love and respect for the legendary Oregon venue, which is located just a mellow 45 minute drive from Portland. While I have never had the pleasure of seeing Cheese there, the anticipation of joining another of my favorites, more...

Let us work our way through Saturday. Keeping along the same lines, we started things off nice and easy with some sonic explorations with the likes of Janover & (surprise last minute announcement) Welder sets amongst the White Cedars once again. [Please read the post dedicated to Welder/Eskmo here] A perfect aspect to Sherwood Court in the daytime was the more...

Brendan Angelides {Welder/Eskmo} @ Electric Forest

By dizzurt at July 24, 2011 | 7:40 pm | 0 Comment

Welder felt extremely fitting for the atmosphere: starting off with birds chirping and sounds of nature, he used everything from a SIGG water bottle to tap shoes on his hands to make his beats. His set was perfectly crafted, and people were enjoying it in triple-layered, bunk-bed style hammocks. One kid practically had a perfect birds eye view the entire more...

Electric Forest Pt. 1: Sherwood Makes Me Feel Alive!

By dizzurt at July 20, 2011 | 9:26 pm | 2 Comments

Although I was hesitant at first, July 4th weekend in Rothbury, MI proved to be just as special as the last time I visited. After taking a year off and sporting a new name, Rothbury transformed into the Electric Forest Festival; yet the most beloved place of all, Sherwood Forest, didn't sway off the expected one bit. [Editor's Note: LiS lost our video camera the more...

As if the Shpongle Gods hadn't showered us with enough magical particles already, Caeli La & myself (Dizzy G) had the pleasure of taking a first-hand look at the world through [the most] authentic Shpongleyes. What will be looked back upon as Lost in Sound's Divine Moment of Truth fell on a night where Ten Year Anniversaries were plentiful: The First Shpongle more...

Raindance Campout 2011 – Videos From The Frontier Of Sound

By Drift Dodgers at July 7, 2011 | 10:52 pm | 1 Comments

We drove north of San Francisco through wine country, into the thick Mendocino National Forest just east of Ukiah. The rain was already coming down when we arrived; I put on my foul weather gear and new boots as we headed out to explore the grounds. The venue was a retreat and healing center perfect for a small festival like this - there were cabins to rent, heated more...

Wakarusa 2011 Review & Photos

By Leafin at June 30, 2011 | 1:07 am | 0 Comment

Nothing like our favorite East Coast Rock n' Roll woman to get us started on a weekend of amazing music, art, and performance. Thursday evening kicked off when Grace Potter and the Nocturnals took the stage, letting the crowd know "It's all downhill from here ladies and gentlemen, so here's to misbehaving! Alright, I don't know if you picked up on it, but we're not more...

The Do Lab's Lightning In A Bottle was an incredible gathering of people, music and art that showcased the best of the West Coast underground.
